God does not bless us simply so we can enjoy what we have received. The story of Abraham in Genesis 12 makes this clear: God blessed Abraham so that through him all the families of the earth would be blessed. That same purpose applies to us today. We are not meant to be containers of God's blessing but conduits of it. Abraham was an idol worshiper when God called him, which means God's choice had nothing to do with Abraham's worthiness and everything to do with God's plan. He went, imperfectly, and God used him anyway. The greatest blessing that flowed through Abraham was Jesus Christ Himself, made available to every person from every nation. We are invited into that same story, and the question God is asking each of us is simple: will you go?
